The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Pointe de Figuerolles (Bouches-du-Rhone) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Pointe de Figuerolles for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

6 Pleasant

The beach is made up of pebbles and can be a bit challenging to reach, especially if you're coming from Niolon along the coastal path. However, this difficulty has helped to preserve the beach's natural beauty. The sea is stunningly clear and inviting, but the view of Marseille across the water isn't particularly captivating. It's worth noting that the beach is free to the public, and while diving isn't recommended due to the risk of damaging the seabed, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the water.

First and foremost, it's worth mentioning that not only is the beach stunning, but the surrounding hikes that lead to it are equally breathtaking. Additionally, it's worth noting that the beach has free public entry.

This beach is absolutely stunning! The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling, and it's not too cold during the summer months. The best part? It's completely free to the public! To get there, you'll need to take a mini hike through some creeks, but trust me, it's worth it for the breathtaking views. From the beach, you can even see Marseille in its entirety, from the north to the south. I stumbled upon this hidden gem by chance, and I can't wait to go back and admire the scenery again.
